WITH all the controversy over the proposed introduction of wheelie bins for garden waste and the fortnightly collection of household waste, the possibility of bins becoming smelly can be easily overcome.

For a small fee a team call once a month and pressure-wash the bins, leaving them literally "smelling of roses".

This service is really worth every penny.
